The Marder I’s history really started a few days into Operation Barbarossa, when some German units saw themselves almost overrun by superior **T-34s** and **KV-1s**. Although most **Panzer IIIs** fielded there had been recently upgunned with the new 50 mm (1.97 in) gun, it was still found insufficient. Also, the bulk of the German army was still made of lighter models, either the Czech-built **Panzer 38(t)** or the **Panzer II**. The **Panzerjäger I** was also inadequate. So, a vehicle capable of carrying the best German antitank gun then available, the 75 mm (2.95 in) Pak 40, was urgently needed. One solution was to convert 170 of the already available Lorraine 37L chassis to carry them. The idea was put into practice in May 1942 by Major Alfred Becker.
